AI in Health: What does ChatGPT mean for me?

Wednesday 03 May, 2023
Online webinar
12:30pm

It seems ChatGPT can do almost anything ... we asked it to write the promotional blurb for this upcoming panel discussion .....

Hear real life human experts discuss the potential opportunities and limitations of the use of conversational AI systems such as ChatGPT in the health system.

Where might tools such as this be best applied to benefit human health and what issues should health professionals keep in mind before applying them in their practice?

According to ChatGPT, potential opportunities include; virtual assistance, medical education, mental health support, clinical decision support and patient engagement.

While limitations we should keep in mind are; data privacy and security, accuracy and reliability, legal and ethical considerations, technical limitations and the need for human interaction.

“While ChatGPT can provide valuable support and information to patients and healthcare providers, it cannot replace the value of human interaction and empathy in healthcare.” - ChatGPT, April 4 2023
